However, the couple will have to do without the services of a porter at the 140sq m (1,500sq ft) penthouse property in the TriBeca area – it does have a roof terrace, though.

The couple, who are expected to tie the knot in the next few weeks, will live full-time in Los Angeles.

According to reports, the couple’s Big Apple bedroom is on the mezzanine level of the pad, overlooking the living room.With high ceilings and wooden beams, the state-of-the-art home also features an inset bookcase to house all of intellectual Russell’s books, while its marble bathroom is roomy enough for the pair to lather up in the bath together.

Russ and Katy were snapped enjoying a bike ride around their new neighbourhood at the weekend.
